The lack of respect and compassion here is astounding. Yes, we are all entitled to our own opinions, however everybody deserves respect, which costs nothing. The old saying of 'if you've not got anything good to say, then don't say it' springs to mind.
There are always attention seeking trolls that having nothing good to say about anyone, just always looking for the negative aspects of any situation to spout forth their spiteful rhetoric.

It's boorish & tiresome, unfortunately its what you have to live with in the online world.
